Question description

I Dream of Jeannie

As you watch the video, ask yourself
the following questions:

To what extent have things changed and to what extent
have they remained the same in regards to gender roles, expectations,
division, and identity from the time this show was originally popular and
today?

How conscious and sensitive are the characters
regarding gender prejudice, power inequality, and subordination?

Did they take inequality of the sexes for granted?

Based on your readings and
understanding that you have gathered after watching the above-noted video,
write a short biographical description of your life if you were to wake up
tomorrow morning in the time period of the video you watched and find you have a
different gender identity. Write a description of how you lived your life a day
after your hypothetical change in gender as you answer the following questions:

Discuss how you would react on finding out that your
sex is opposite. Would you feel a sense of relief, indifference, or
elation? Why?

Discuss three ways your attitude towards the opposite
sex was enlightened or would change as a result of what you learned from
this project. If you would not change your attitude, why?

Write down the ideas and attitudes you have taken for
granted a member of your actual gender. Consider how your roles at home
and in the office would change if you were a member of the opposite
gender.

Relate the ideas of sexism and racism to the
videos. How do you think sexism and racism have changed since the
1950s?
